Abstract
A removable counter-balance accessory may include a cranial brace that rests against the back of a user's head when the user is wearing a head-mounted display on the user's face. The removable counter-balance accessory may also include an insert that fits in an opening formed by a strap that wraps around the back of the user's head to hold the head-mounted display on the user's face and secures the cranial brace to the strap at the back of the user's head. The removeable counter-balance accessory may further include at least one weight that applies, in connection with the cranial brace at the back of the user's head, a force that at least partially counter-balances the weight of the head-mounted display on the user's face. Various other counter-balance accessories, head-mounted-display systems, and methods are also disclosed.
